Wienerberger Warnham Brickworks

The 23 clay bricks Wienerberger make at Warnham Brickworks, soft mud formed — Warnham Red Stock, Terracotta, Nutcombe Multi, Blenheim Multi and others. Wienerberger declare by works rather than by brick, so every brick from this site shares one figure: 276 kgCO₂e per tonne. Across their ten UK works that figure runs from 183 to 398 — a factor of 2.2 inside one company, set mostly by how the brick is formed rather than by the clay.

Recorded Carbon Result

276kgCO₂e/t

A1–A3 GWP-total per tonne, for every brick made at Warnham Brickworks — Wienerberger declare by works, so the 23 bricks from this site share one figure. GWP-fossil is 276. Across their ten UK works the range is 183–398 kgCO2e/t, and the biggest single driver is the forming process: soft-mud stock bricks run far higher than extruded ones, most starkly at Hartlebury where the two lines on one site declare 398 and 206.

Keyed on the brickworks, not a single product — averaged over "multiple products", data year 2021. The works→brick mapping comes from Wienerberger's own EPD Summary Document, which is the only published source for it (product pages carry no factory field). Covers 23 named bricks: Warnham Red Stock, Terracotta, Nutcombe Multi, Blenheim Multi, Chartham Multi Stock, Maplehurst, Winchester Multi, Lingfield Red Multi, Olde Henfield Multi, Hurstwood Multi, Olde Horsham, Olde Cranleigh Multi, Olde Wealden Multi, Marpessa Multi, Rudgwick Multi Stock, Olde Southwater, Olde Sussex Blend, Capelwick Multi Stock, Olde County Blend, Cholesbury Dark Red Multi, Cholesbury Light Red Multi, Olde Autumn Antique, Olde Heritage Antique. The earliest expiry in the range — 2 December 2027. Warnham also makes three of the Eco-brick colours, but Eco-brick is a slimmer profile with its own (unpublished) figures and this declaration must not be attached to it.

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

150 years · EPD reference service life

The declaration states a 150-year reference service life.

≈1 installation over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.
